TABLE 36

Parameter

Definition

Configured default
sampling rate

The configured global sampling rate. If you changed the global sampling rate, the value
you entered is shown here. The actual rate calculated by the software based on the
value you entered is listed on the next line, "Actual default sampling rate".

Actual default sampling
rate

The actual default sampling rate.

The maximum sFlow
sample size

The maximum size of a flow sample sent to the sFlow collector.

exporting cpu-traffic

Indicates whether or not the sFlow agent is configured to export data destined to the
CPU (e.g., Telnet sessions) to the sFlow collector:

• enabled
• disabled

exporting cpu-traffic
sample rate

The sampling rate for CPU-directed data, which is the average ratio of the number of
incoming packets on an sFlow-enabled port, to the number of flow samples taken from
those packets.

exporting system-info

Indicates whether or not the sFlow agent is configured to export information about CPU
and memory usage to the sFlow collector:

• enabled
• disabled

exporting system-info
polling interval

Specifies the interval, in seconds, that sFlow data is sent to the sFlow collector.

UDP packets exported

The number of sFlow export packets the Brocade device has sent.

NOTE
Each UDP packet can contain multiple samples.

sFlow samples collected

The number of sampled packets that have been sent to the collectors.

sFlow ports

The ports on which you enabled sFlow.

Module Sampling Rates

The configured and actual sampling rates for each module. If a module does not have
any sFlow-enabled ports, the rates are listed as 0.

Port Sampling Rates

The configured and actual sampling rates for each sFlow-enabled port.

The Subsampling factor indicates how many times the sampling rate of the port's
module is multiplied to achieve the port's sampling rate. Because of the way the actual
sampling rates are computed, the Subsampling factors are always whole numbers.
